Sex And Death

I’m sitting in my office today and there’s a funeral happening in the church next door.  (This happens regularly.)  The church and my office building share a parking lot so the attendees’ cars have filled it up (the deceased person was clearly popular), the people are dressed up and wearing dark colors, there’s a couple of limousines, and of course there’s a hearse parked out front.  Always stark imagery.

In case you didn’t know, my office is located in a building that used to be a Catholic school.  After the school shut down, it sat empty for years.  Then it was renovated I think about 30(?) years ago and converted into professional offices.  It’s a majority of therapists in the building now.  The church still owns the building (and I like to joke that I make my rent check out to “God” - because hey, don’t we all?) and it even still has a cross on the top it.
